Imagine seeing your family drive away and leave you behind.
That’s what many furry little friends go through everyday as families move, or are no longer able to care for their pets.
Some cats are found in dumpsters with frostbites, worms and poisoned by humans who see them as a nuisances.
At North Toronto Cat Rescue, their mission is to provide a safe and caring environment for all cats and kittens. They provide veterinary care and support during recovery, and help to find the cats a “forever home”.
They are unique because they not only support a no-kill policy, but also a no-cage policy. That means the felines they take in are free to run around and play, leading a lifestyle as close to a real home as possible.
The NRTC is also apart of a community project where school children can come in to gain hands on experience caring for animals. This type of community service provides a valuable learning environment for both the children and the cats, adjusting to their new surroundings.
Visit the NRTC website for a complete listing of their adoptees, fun bumper stickers, and for more information on their volunteer/donation programs. They are currently in urgent need of a grant letter writer, and people to join the shelter team.
The NRTC annual fundraiser will be held at Simeon Park on Sunday, August 15th from 10am-6pm. This event is open to the public and is sponsored by Magna International Inc.
